Well, it has been 2 weeks since all these Elecraft boxes hit the door and
everything is assembled, tested and ready for the 160 contest this weekend.
The K2, K160RX, KDSP2, KNB2,KPA100, KSB2 and KRC2 went together flawlessly.
I can't say enough about the organized assembly instructions and quality
Hello fellow Elecrafters,
Hamlib (http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/) is an open source project which
provides software developers with a single interface to all supported
radios. This allows the developer to support a large number of radios
without having to learn how each radio interface works or wr

It appears that tetrachromacy in the human female comes in two different

Not to dimish anything Ron said, I should point out that a value of 3.7 is a

you know it is a precision or 1% value part (and that fact

Julian,
You have to use a separate serial port for MixW PTT/CW and HRD CAT. HRD
uses the serial port connected to the K2, and MixW has no CAT. MixW uses
the secondary PTT/RTTY port for PTT/CW and the DTR/RTS from this port are
connected to the PTT/CW keying interface. CAT is disabled, and M

How do they not fight over the serial port? I loaded HRD, then loaded
MixW, and it crashed with an illegal instruction. I closed HRD and then
loaded MixW on its own, and it worked fine.
My bandscope was slightly better behaved: it reported "Error opening COM

It looks pretty, Jim, I'll grant it that. But MixW supports many more
modes, plus rig control and logging, and all from within one application
that needs less screen real-estate. It isn't FREE, but at fifty bucks
it's still a lot less than most ham radio products.
